Easy check in. Secured and covered parking. Clean room. This was my fourth visit. No cigarette smell this time. No microwave, coffee maker, nor refrigerator in the room. I didn’t try the breakfast, but I was able to view the gym and the machines and gymnasium were nice and clean. Lobby is clean and great for eating outside of your room while still being inside. Nighttime staff are my favorite, always helpful to give me an extra towel and an extra blanket. Convenient location, close to stores, restaurants, and medical offices.

The hotel had a good location. It was clean. But the room didn't have a view at all. We couldn't open the curtains because the window was to the hall way where everyone walked. The restaurant employees were great starting with their manager Javier. But terrible customer service from the front desk at the hotel. They like to charge for everything and nothing. I booked with hotel.com. The room was good for 3 people. But they charged me 40.00 extra for the third person. I was going to stay only one day and decided to stay a second night. They charged extra $8.00 for checking out and checking in at the same room. It was like they were punishing me to stay the second night. I paid for breakfast in advance but they didn't want us to use it for the second day. They wanted us to use it in the third day. I explained to them that I wasn't going to stay all night. I was planning to leave early. But it was so hard for them to be polite empathize and have some courtesy. They don't care about their customers. It is almost like they don't want their customers to go back to the same hotel. That's the way I understood. It is very unfortunate because I was planning to go back. All of these people that work at the front desk need a class of how to conduct themselves in front of a customer. On my line of work I have to talk to customers all day long and if I would treat a customer the way they treated me I would loose my job in a second.
